Johnny Cash covers are the calling card. Andy Abra is a country blues and roots singer and guitarist from Wollombi with a big, deep voice, playing originals alongside songs from Hank Williams, Waits, John Prine, Merle Haggard, Slim Dusty and Neil Young. Solo and duo shows use a loop pedal to build a bigger sound; for the full effect there's his Big River Band. He can sit low-key in the background early and start a party later, brings his own PA, and has insurance sorted. Old-school outlaw country, done properly.
Watch Andy Abra perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

Mellow enough to sit behind conversation early on, and capable of turning a room into a party later. Andy Abra shifts between the two rather than picking one and staying there. Playing solo or as a duo he runs a loop pedal, stacking parts until it sounds like more players than are actually standing there. He's fussy about the sound, which shows in the gear he uses and the musicians he brings along.
He brings his own PA. What he'd rather have from you is cover over the performance spot, because gear and weather don't mix and an unexpected shower can end a set early.
Johnny Cash is the specialty, and it's the reason plenty of people book him. His own original songs sit alongside those. The rest of the list pulls from old country, blues and roots: Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Slim Dusty, John Williamson, Tom Waits, John Prine, Steve Earle, Justin Townes Earle, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Corb Lund and Tim McGraw. Then a rootsier, more modern side with Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Zac Brown Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, Patty Griffin and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Chris Whitley and Lonnie Mack round it out, plus Redgum and Flight of the Conchords for a change of pace.
Three sizes: solo, duo, or the full Big River Band. The solo and duo shows lean on the loop pedal for depth, and the band is there when you want the whole thing at full weight.
